16. My sentiments exactly

There isn't anyone, who doesn't wish they could change something about their body. We don't go after people for dyeing hair, augmenting breasts, penile implants, nose jobs.

My brother (now deceased) was a life long cross-dresser enthusiast. He called it his hobby. I wasn't interested in his hobby, but it never harmed me. Frankly I didn't really care.

What really needs to change is people's minds. Is it really so threatening to see a guy in a dress? We seem not to be too bothered by women wearing slacks and jeans. You don't like drag shows? So don't go to places where cross-dreassers hang out. You don't like gay parades? So go somewhere else or stay home. Open your F'ing minds to the possibility that it's OK for people to be very different from you.
